To ensure Dr Kim is properly prepared for your anaesthetic, please complete this preoperative assessment questionnaire to the best of your ability.

On average, it takes 5-10 minutes to complete this questionnaire. If you are unable to complete it in one session (or under 15 minutes), you can save your answers and return at any time by clicking the “Save Your Form to Complete Later” button at the bottom of the questionnaire.

To enable you to complete your questionnaire as quickly as possible, please have on hand:
- Your health care cards (Medicare card, private fund card etc)

- Details of your current medications
